My point had zero 2 do with salt.
I was not referring to salt water boats, sorry for the misslead.
I personally would not buy a boat used in salt water, what I was referring to was coastal boat dealers being cheaper than Winni dealer’s boat for boat.
For instance when I bought my 24 Sea ray back in 99 I met a fellow boater with the exact boat except I had Bravo 2 he had Bravo 3 outdrive and he got a trailer and paid 5 grand less than I did buying it on this lake. He bought his at a coastal dealer in Mass.
He also had to battle with Sea ray to get Irwin Marine to do warranty work on that boat.
As for some of the new boats the engine does not see water. My 2001 Outlaw has an intercooler. Engine is full of antifreeze, the water goes in the outdrive, through the intercooler and out the exhaust. Block never see’s raw water.
